Chapter 331: Want to take the child to the provincial capital
The punishment came quickly. Laizi was fined 50 yuan and detained for three years for abusing Dezi. Was it because of a family matter or his own child? In addition to the poor living conditions at home, he was the only laborer, so he was exempted from the sentence for one year.
Xu's mother and father had no way to change. They begged their grandfather and cried, but unfortunately no one paid attention to them. The village chief and the party secretary directly drove them out with a broom.
During this period, they felt ashamed to go to the county town for meetings. They always felt that other villages, especially the two village cadres in Shenjiaji, had been looking at them with squinting eyes. It was very embarrassing.
Dezi was discharged from the hospital half a month later. His son was in jail. Now he only had a grandson around. After a few days of quarreling, Xu's father and mother were dragged away for a lecture. Finally, they suppressed their anger and began to take good care of Dezi.
Wang Lianhua, Xifeng, and Xie Jing often came to see Dezi with things. Xie Jing even asked Lu Jiasheng to build a small cabinet for Dezi, with a lock on it and the key hanging around his neck.
There was food and clothes in it, as well as a few dimes for pocket money. In short, life was going well.
September 6th was the wedding day of Yu Shirley and Qian Chengwang. Many people in the village went to join in the fun. Daya and Xiaoya were dressed neatly and beautifully to give wedding candies and brown sugar water to the visitors.
Yu Shirley was wearing a red shirt and black pants in the house, a small red flower on her head, and a nude makeup carefully applied by Shen Meng.
Lu Zhenping happened to be in the room today, and was called by Shen Meng early in the morning. A black and white TV was sent over, which shocked the villagers.
Wang Lianhua and the others were jealous to death.
"What a mean person you are. You gave us a TV without mentioning anything. Are our pillows, quilts, warm pots and flower mirrors still presentable?"
"My sister-in-law is a thoughtful person. Fortunately, I asked the children's father to make two cabinets for us in advance, painted them red, and chose the best wood. So they are presentable."
The daughter-in-law looked at the valuable things her two sisters-in-law gave her. The things she gave herself could be considered shabby.
"Isn't this all good? The things you took are all in pairs. With so many things, why do you think it's not enough? You're almost emptying your family's pockets, right?"
"No, I've saved a lot from working for more than a year, plus the benefits and tickets given from time to time by the factory, so I live a very enjoyable life."
The things they took were really eye-catching. Many people looked at Shen Meng and thought that this person might have a problem with his brain.
It's not that he is a relative, but he spends hundreds of yuan at a time, and he also spends so many tickets. He has money to burn.
Lu Xiangxiang didn't come this time. She was getting heavier, and Shen Xiaobin didn't let her run around. Now the whole Shen family values her. During the time she was pregnant, they tried their best to nourish her body, and now she has gained a lot of weight.
When Aunt Juying went to see her, she sighed that she had really fallen into a blessed nest.
Yu Shirley looked at the pile of things in the room, and her eyes turned red and she was about to cry. In the past, no matter how much she suffered or how drunk she was, she had never shed tears, but since she became really close to these women, her tears seemed to be endless.
"Look at what you are doing. You have all this money but no place to spend it. Are you afraid that I will come back by buying so many things? I tell you, I will be with you for the rest of my life."
"Come on, we are not the kind of people who say those unorthodox words. We sisters have spent a lot of money on your marriage this time. If you dare to live a bad life, let us see how we will deal with you."
"What you said is that money is not precious at all. I wish I could lift Shirley up. How can I live a bad life?"
"Hahaha, you can get married with confidence. We are taking care of Dezi in the village. If you miss the child, just come back to see him. It's not far away. You can come back whenever you want."
"Hey, I know. I won't say more. Eat more at noon. I've left some dishes for you. Eat as much as you want. When I leave, we'll have a drink together."
"Okay, okay."
A few people were talking and laughing, and the person who was organizing the banquet shouted to everyone, "Everyone from the south and the north, relatives and fellow villagers, hurry up and find a seat to sit down. We'll have dinner after the wedding."
As soon as this was shouted, the people who had just gathered together to talk hurriedly found their seats and sat down to wait for dinner.
Yu Shirley finally got married properly, and the man was her sweetheart. She spent a lot of money on the banquet, bought good wine and food, and steamed two-grain flour buns, and it was very lively.
The village chief took charge and brought eight steamed buns and two large bowls of stewed vegetables to Xu's house to take Dezi out.
The wound on his head had not healed yet and was covered with a gauze. However, seeing the smile on Yu Shirley's face that she had never seen before, he felt disappointed, but he was also really happy for her.
Anyone can live a good life if they get out of this mess of their home.
Yu Shirley looked at Dezi and her nose was sour for a moment.
"Remember what your mother told you. This house is for you. The bedding and clothes are all in the closet. If your grandma treats you badly and wants to beat you, you can come and live here. Your Aunt Lianhua and Aunt Xifeng will protect you. Maybe, maybe in a few years, you can go to the city to live with your mother. Dezi, remember what your mother said. You must study hard, you must study hard, don't let your mother down, and don't follow the Xu family's style. Do you hear me?"
"Oh, I heard me. I remember my mother. I will definitely study hard, not do bad things, and not bully others. Mom, remember to come and see me, you must remember!"
"Oh!"
The words of the mother and son made everyone who heard them feel sad. For a naughty child to become so sensible, he must have grown a lot.
After attending the wedding, Shen Meng returned home with several children. Lu Zhenping sat on the rocking chair at the entrance of the main hall, looking down in deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"You're back!"
"Well, what were you thinking about just now? I called you several times and you didn't hear me?"
Lu Zhenping clenched his fist and coughed twice, looking at Shen Meng. Silence was better than words here. This meant that Shen Meng had something to say. Shen Meng asked Mingyang to move a stool for her.
The couple sat facing each other. Shen Meng took the water handed to her by her second son, took a sip and then said, "Go ahead!"
"Xiao Meng, our unit has allocated a house to us, and it's not small compared to the yard we live in now. I thought Mingyang and the others are grown up, and the educational environment in the provincial capital is better. I want to take them to the provincial capital to go to school. What do you think?"
Shen Meng frowned slightly. The county town also allocated her a house, and the ownership had been transferred. However, she did not tell Lu Zhenping about this. She was still thinking about sending the children to the county town to go to school. She had even visited the school and was quite satisfied, so she was just waiting for the school to start. Unexpectedly, when the school started, the father of the children had other ideas.
